Spellcheck Macro

[rochma2003]

I am trying to have spellcheck work on the form fields of my document. I
have added the Macro and added a button for spellcheck. It looks good and
works on my system/computer. When another user opens it, they see the
spellcheck button that I added, but when they push it, they get an error that
says the Macro can not be found.

Is this something I've done wrong and/or is it an issue with our company's
security settings?

It all depends on where you put the macro and on your user's macro security.

Simple solution:
Set up your form as a template. Store the macro (and custom toolbar with
button and F7 intercept) in the template. Put the template in a network
workgroup templates folder. Set macro security to trust installed templates
and addins.

To use, create a new document based on the template.
File > New

For more on the different kinds of templates, tabs on the file new dialog,
and locations of templates folders see

Is there anyway to have the macro follow if the document is emailed (i.e. -
not on a network drive). Maybe you've answer that in the information below,
but I'm struggling to figure out all the details.

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Only if you send a template or document in which the macro is stored and the
recipient enables the macro or (in the case of a template) saves to a
trusted location.

 

[Charles Kenyon]

Yes, and no. Chances are that the macro will be blocked at the recipient's
location. Send the template with instructions.
